Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 3

Hi everyone and welcome to day 3 of the Holiday reveals over at Newton's Nook Designs! Today I'm showing you 2 new stamp/die sets, the first one is Holiday Stockings! This new stamp set coordinates with the stocking dies from Stylish Stockings (last years release).

I've also used a die set that's currently in the shop, Pines & Holly Die Set. This die set with the pine, holly, berries and pine cones is a perfect compliment on any holiday card or layout! So I colored a few of the stockings from Holiday Stockings. Using a fine black marker, I drew a string and popped up the tops of the stockings with foam tape to make them dimensional. I added that gorgeous spray to the top of the card and my base was cut from the postage die in Framework Die Set.

For my second card, I cut the scalloped base from the Frames and Flags Die set. Then I found some patterned paper in my stash that I liked. I cut 3 ornaments out using the dies that go along with the Ornamental Wishes stamp set. Although I didn't make a shaker today, you can see on other team member's blogs, what these ornaments look like both as shakers or just regular ornaments. I LOVE the shape and there are also 2 different toppers and some little bits to cut out for shaker filling! I decided to heat emboss in gold, one of the sentiments on the front of my ornament which turned out lovely I think!

Gorgeous cards! Love the design of the first card with theholly & pinecones. Cute stockings; love how you colored thekitty. I love the colors you used on the ornaments againstthe B&W paper you used; love that card!

You coloring is so rich & vibrant - you captured Newton's fur purr-fectly! (Sorry, couldn't resist). I like how you hung the stockings with the pine sprig in the corner of the card too, very pretty. And the pretty colored ornaments really pop against the black & white background pattern paper. Beautiful work!!
